Electronic voice phenomenon is the alleged communication by spirits through tape recorders and other electronic devices.
Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) is the occurrence of unexplained voices or sounds that are believed to be of paranormal origin, captured on electronic recording devices such as tape recorders, digital audio recorders, or other electronic devices.
EVP is believed to work through the manipulation of electronic devices by spirits or entities from the spirit world. These voices or sounds are not heard at the time of recording, but can be heard when the recording is played back at a later time.
There are three main types of EVP recordings: Class A, B, and C. Class A EVPs are the clearest and most easily understood, while Class B EVPs are fainter and may require more careful listening. Class C EVPs are the most difficult to understand and may require audio enhancement or filtering to be heard.
There are several theories that attempt to explain EVP, including apophenia (the tendency to perceive patterns or connections in random or meaningless data), auditory pareidolia (the perception of familiar sounds in random noise), and radio interference. However, none of these theories have been scientifically proven to explain all instances of EVP.
While anyone can attempt to capture EVP, some people may have a better ability or sensitivity to capturing these phenomena. It is also important to note that EVP is not always present or detectable, and it may require multiple attempts or specific conditions to capture them.
